I don't blame you. I bought a new 2007 JK Rubi back in 2006, and had that for 6 years, and really enjoyed it. I could kick myself for selling it. I had it just the way I wanted it; one day got the itch for another TJ, the rest is history. It had an OME lift, Pintler wheels like you want, 285/75-17 Cooper Discoverer STT tires, both tops, Shrockworks stubby front bumper, Expedition One rear bumper and integrated with tailgate tire carrier, and a bunch of other upgrades. This is the only photo I could find with the Cooper tires and AEV Pintlers, and it had a FabFours swing-out tire carrier at the time:

This later when I got KM2s and went back to the Moabs, with the Shrockworks stubby front bumper:

I also modified the Rubicon rock rails, and added tubing for steps:

Still miss that JK. But not the 3.8.
